hwmon: (core) Simplify sysfs attribute name allocation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 3a412d5 upstream.

Allocating the sysfs attribute name only if needed and only with the
required minimum length looks optimal, but does not take the additional
overhead for both devm_ data structures and the allocation header itself
into account. This also results in unnecessary memory fragmentation.
Move the sysfs name string into struct hwmon_device_attribute and give it
a sufficient length to reduce this overhead.
